Review Games and Ideas with Plastic Eggs

Plastic eggs fill the shelves during the months of March and April. March and April are also the months of the year when students get a bit antsy and ready for spring break. Mixing things up is a must! This post will share some fun and pretty simple to prep review games and ideas to use with plastic eggs.

2. Egg Race

This fun idea is similar to the test prep idea above in that it works with any subject area or questions. Fill the eggs with questions and organize your students into teams. Have the teams send one person (per round) to pick an egg bring it back to their team. The team will work together to answer the question, check the answer, and then send another person to grab another egg and continue.

2. Vocabulary Match Up

Vocabulary matching games can also be spiced up with some plastic eggs. For this review game, put the vocabulary word in one egg and the definition in another egg.

3. Synonyms and Antonyms Match Up

Another fun review activity for eggs is synonyms and antonyms matchup. Place one word in each egg. The students will select a word and then hunt for another word that is the synonym or antonym for the word they found.

4. Math Ideas

“You could write two matching terms, such as math terms like improper fractions or mixed numbers, on each part and hide them around.” – Ashley

“I use multiplication facts, with the equation on one half and the answer on the other half. My students have to hunt to match them up.” – Jennifer

“Pick two eggs and add, subtract, multiply, or divide the numbers on each egg.” – Kate

“Fill the eggs with shapes. The kids have to come back and classify the shapes, highlight the parallel lines, and identify the angles.” – Laura

5. Engineering Ideas

This idea is pretty simple and not really a review game, but a fun activity to do with plastic eggs is a tower building challenge. The students could estimate how tall they think their plastic egg tower will be, build it, and then measure how tall it actually is.
